FREE. help Ask Louanne Dear Louanne, I'm a freshman, and I’m beginning to think I'm the only male virgin left on campus. There's nothing wrong me. I just never found the right girl at the right time. Besides, with all the publicity about AIDS and herpes, I'm beginning to wonder who is the "right" girl. What should I do, run an ad in "Rendezvous"? Signed, the Last Man Dear "Last Man", Don't believe everything you hear in the locker room. In 1984, Segal did a study entitled The Sex Lives of College Students. (I have a copy of it in my office if you'd like to borrow it) A total of 2,436 students across the country were polled, and 39% of the entering college freshmen males admitted they were still virgins, so you're not alone. You are right! It's got to feel "right". Why don't you consult Patty Pasky, the nurse practitioner at tour Health Center, about protecting yourself from AIDS and other STD's. While you're there pick up a package of condoms so you'll be prepared when the right time comes along. Dear Louanne, I'm really worried about my roommate. She rarely goes to dinner with us and when she does she leaves as soon as she's finished eating - 'says she has studying to do. She thinks she's fat (she's not) and is constantly dieting. She keeps tons of junk food in her bolster, but I never see her eating any of it. Aren't these symptoms of bulimia? What should I do? Signed, Worried Roommate Dear "Worried", It sounds like you've done some reading. Yes, these could be symptoms of an eating disorder, but everyone who leaves the dining hall immediately after eating is not going to vomit. Your roommate really may have an exam to study for. A person with bulimia goes on periodic food binges, then feels out of control and purges by vomiting or using laxatives. This is usually accompanied by depression. The purging behavior is extremely dangerous depleting vital nutrients in the body such as potassium which can result in heart failure. How can you help? Remember, bulimia is not "craziness" but an attempt to cope with stress. You are right to continue including her in your activities. Be kind, concerned, and confront gently, but firmly. Say what you see, hear, and feel; but don't take personal responsibility foe your roommate; .Offer her assistance in getting professional help. You could suggest she accompany you to bur Thursday night Eating Concerns Support Group at 8:00 p.m. in the Health Center. The group is not just for bulimics, but anyone who feels they spend too much time thinking about food or feel their eating is out of control. (Sorry I got so long-winded, but I was so glad you asked. This is a special interest of mine) Dear Dr. Cereal, What can I do? No matter how hard an effort I make, I just can't seem to keep up this semester. As if school weren’t enough, I'm having personal problems as well, and I really don’t know where to turn. I figured someone who wrote brilliant, insightful, and humanistic columns could help me out. Do you know such a person? Signed, A Fan Dear A Fan, Confidential and professional help is available.

With such an emphasis on this disease, many people are beginning to watch their diets and are cutting down on the amount of salt they consume. The mineral sodium is essential for the functioning of many of the body processes and plays a major role in water retention. Although the average american consumes 1000- 2000 milligrams of sodium daily, the recommended amount is 220 milligrams per day. This amount can be adequately supplied with the naturally occurring sodium in such foods as fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, poultry, fresh fish, milk, andd water. Some foods have salt added to enhance ..the flav.or _or _as preservative. Salted and smoked meats contain a very high amount of sodium.

Ther are a variety of herbs and spices that can be used to flavor meats and vegetables that contain little or no sodium. Flavorings can also add taste to meats that you would otherwise consider bland. Kicking the salt habit isn’t really that hard. All it takes is a little willpower and a creative imagination. One thing that helps considerably is removiong the salt shaker fion the stove and the table.

"Its a very Balkan case of Serbia wanting to influence one province by attacking another,” he ecplained. "The events in Yugoslavia are very worrisome. As a nation , they are facing the need to clamp down or face a long period of extreme civil unrest I believe they'll choose the former.” Despite the current conflict, Seroka sees the positive benefits of the clash between the party and the government of Yugoslavia.
